A flashback to the day when a school teacher decided to go and meet the Hindi movie star.

Chori Mera Kaam Yaaron, Chori Mera Kaam (Stealing is my job, friends): there couldn’t have been a better song written for Shashi Kapoor, the long-lashed, twinkling-eyed stealer of hearts from 1970s Hindi cinema.

Whether he played convict or constable, loser or lover, Shashi Kapoor was a charmer all the way.

A sheer example of the multicultural and unity in diversity among Indians.

Fifty-five year old Bhabotaron Paik is a forest guard at the Neitidopani forest reserve in the faraway western edge of Sundarbans jungles.
